HOLIDAY GAMES: The College Bowl Season
College Bowl Games are great, don’t get me wrong, but who really doesn’t want to see a playoff in college football? (Besides all those University Presidents at the BCS schools, of course).
I don’t see why the NCAA could not craft a playoff system that manages to maintain the current bowl structure.
If you are planning to tune in or travel to a college bowl game this year, you should know, even though the season is wrapping up, a few of the spots have yet to be finalized, and nothing is ever certain with the crazy math done by the folks at the BCS.
Just as Boise State shocked the world nearly a year ago, don't be too surprised if Hawaii offers a worthy effort in a BCS bowl that's now just one win away. The Broncos — in the aftermath of their season-ending defeat — wouldn't be in any position to argue the point. The boys from Boise would readily agree that Hawaii has the ability to make another WAC fairytale come true.
Still here are my projections for the upcoming bowl season, with help from the good prognosticators at www.sportprojections.com
